thanks guys- that's what I thought but the ls motors have the same firing order of the 5.0 HO (IIRC) and they don't sound like it either. The weird thing is the ohc 4.6 sounds similar to the 302 so maybe it is more of a factor of exhaust design.

 

Ford numbers their engines differently 1-4 is on the drivers side and chevy odd numbers on the drivers side.

I know of a 69 Camaro with a DZ 302 in it and they are shifting it at 11,000 running 9.90's in an all steel Camaro. Sounds amazing.

 

lol thats all they're shifting at? lol jk

 

But on a serious, back in the late 80's there was a guy that would come up to pacemakers a couple time a year with his 68 z/28, claimed to have 35k in the motor, which is insane. All i know is that it was a de-stroked 302 obviously with alot of other work done to it. Motor could spin 14k rpm all day long. Guy ran a moroso 12.5k cable tach for awhile but he always pegged it.... so he got rid of it.

I can think of a lot better way to spend 18k and make a lot more hp that is still reliable

Car local? I would love to her is scream.

 

Yeah, the car is local. The guy lives in Thornville and the motor is for sale. He is a good friend of mine. The motor is built to go up to 13,000, but it eats valve springs like crazy at that RPM. Thats the only bad thing about these motors. They wear out the valve springs quick.

Soooo much win! 18k is CHEAP for a super stock top end. These motors are amazing since they work within such a limited rule base. That is why if you don't know what the fuck you are doing it is best to not even try to run one of these classes.

awesome! 680 hp out of 282 cubic inches naturally aspirated is quite impressive! I would like to see the power curve- with 6.50:1 rear gear I bet that baby has no low end at all. Where do they run the SS/DM series so I can watch these guys?

 

There was a Buckeye Stock/Super Stock series this summer at different tracks. You can go to any NHRA Divisional Points Meet and see them run along with the big race at Norwalk if they are in the rotation to be there.

 

Now if you want to see something that will really get your panties wet go check out Nostalgia Pro Stock cars :)
